Landon Donovan and Eddie Lewis scored goals to lead the United States to a 2-0 victory over Wales in an international friendly today.
The win put an end to Wales' 10-match unbeaten run, the longest in their 127-year history.
After a sloppy start, the hosts began to find their rhythm against a defensive Welsh squad that played with just one player up front.
Less than a minute after he was cautioned for a late tackle on Greg Vanney, Leicester City's Mathew Jones conceded a penalty when he brought down Jovan Kirovski in the 41st minute.
Donovan calmly slotted home from the spot.
Worse was to follow for Wales as they were reduced to 10 men in the 49th minute when Matthew Jones picked up a second yellow card for handling the ball.
The US scored their second when Lewis's low shot from the edge of the box slipped under substitute 'keeper Ward's outstretched arms.
It was a poor showing by Wales who currently lead their European Championship qualifying group.
